Bac français international tutors to boost grades

The Baccalauréat Français is the national high school diploma in France, known for its academic depth and wide recognition across Europe. Since recent reforms, the Bac is now structured into three main types:

• Le Baccalauréat Général (the most academically rigorous)
• Le Baccalauréat Technologique
• Le Baccalauréat Professionnel (more vocational/apprenticeship-based)

TutorsPlus focuses primarily on supporting students in the Bac Général, including preparation for its advanced specialization subjects. We offer tutoring tailored to the student’s chosen parcours and academic objectives.

We provide expert tutoring across all core subjects: French language & literature, Maths, Physics–Chemistry, Biology, History–Geography, Philosophy, Economics, and foreign languages (English, Spanish, German, Italian).

We also support specialized subjects (called spécialités) taken in Première and Terminale, such as:

• Mathématiques, Physique-Chimie, SVT, NSI, and more.
• HGGSP (Histoire-Géographie, Géopolitique et Sciences Politiques)
• SES (Sciences Économiques et Sociales)
• Humanités, Littérature et Philosophie

In Première, students take the French oral exam, which focuses on literary analysis and communication. In Terminale, the Grand Oral tests students on one of their spécialité subjects. The examiner chooses one of two prepared questions related to the student’s program.

Our tutors help students select and develop oral topics, structure their arguments, practice delivery and time management and respond to spontaneous questions with confidence. We align coaching to the format and expectations of each oral exam.

Yes. We offer guidance on all written formats across the Bac:

• Dissertation and commentaire composé in French and Philosophy
• Problèmes mathématiques and scientific analysis tasks
• Structured writing in HGGSP, SES, and History–Geography

Tutors provide feedback on structure, argumentation, clarity, and critical thinking to prepare students for Terminale written assessments.

Absolutely. We support the full range of spécialités and additional options such as:

• Mathématiques expertes or Mathématiques complémentaires
• Option Musique, Option Théâtre, etc.

While not considered core spécialités, these add extra weight to the Bac and are often chosen by high-achieving students. Our tutors are experienced in guiding students across different combinations of courses, helping them excel within their specific Bac parcours.

TutorsPlus offers intensive booster sessions in the lead-up to exams:

• Simulated mock exams under timed conditions
• Oral rehearsals for both French and the Grand Oral
• Focused content revision and exam technique coaching

We replicate real exam conditions to build confidence and deliver targeted feedback for maximum improvement.

• In-person sessions in Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich, and Basel
• Online tutoring via video with shared whiteboards, PDF annotation, digital quizzes, and oral practice via video call

This ensures flexible support whether students are in Switzerland or abroad.

While this varies by student, most benefit from:

• 1–2 weekly sessions during the school year
• 2–3 weekly sessions during the final two months before exams

This pacing allows for sustained progress and increased exam readiness.

Our tutors include:

• Certified enseignants and agrégés
